And hee stood and criedvnto the armies of Israel, and saidvntothem, Why are yee come out to set yourbattell in aray? Am not I a Philistine, and you seruants to Saul?Chuse you a man for you, and let him comedowne to me.

And the threeeldestsonnes of Iessewent, and followedSaul to the battell: and the names of his threesonnesthatwent to the battell, were, Eliab the firstborne, and nextvnto him, Abinadab, and the third, Shammah.

And Dauidrose vp earely in the morning, and left the sheepewith a keeper, and tooke, and went, as Iesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was goingforth to the fight, and shouted for the battell.

And the men of Israelsaid, Haue yee seenethis man that is come vp?Surely to defieIsrael is he come vp: and it shall be that the man who killeth him, the king wil enrich him withgreatriches, and willgiue him his daughter, and make his fathershousefree in Israel.

And Dauidspake to the men thatstood by him, saying;Whatshall bee done to the man thatkilleththisPhilistine; and takethaway the reprochfromIsrael? For who is thisvncircumcisedPhilistine, that he shoulddefie the armies of the liuing God?

And Eliab his eldestbrotherheardwhen he spakevnto the men, and Eliabsanger was kindledagainstDauid, and he said, Why camestthoudownhither? And withwhomhastthouleftthose few sheepe in the wildernesse? I know thy pride, and the naughtinesse of thineheart; for thou art comedowne, thatthoumightest see the battell.

Dauidsaidemoreouer, The Lordthatdeliuered me out of the paw of the Lyon, and out of the pawe of the Beare, he willdeliuer me out of the hand of thisPhilistine. And SaulsaidvntoDauid, Goe, and the Lord be withthee.

And hee tooke his staffe in his hand, and chose him fiuesmoothestones out of the brooke, and put them in a shepheards bag which he had, euen in a scrip, and his sling was in his hande, and he drewneere to the Philistine.

ThensaidDauid to the Philistine, Thoucommest to mee with a sword, and with a speare, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the Name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the armies of Israel, whomthouhastdefied.

This day wil the Lorddeliuertheeintominehand, and I willsmitethee, and takethineheadfromthee, and I wil giue the carkeises of the host of the Philistinesthis day vnto the foules of the aire, and to the wildbeasts of the earth, that all the earth may knowthatthere is a God in Israel.

ThereforeDauid ran and stoodvpon the Philistine, and tooke his sword, and drewe it out of the sheaththereof, and slew him, and cut off his headtherewith. And when the Philistinessawetheirchampion was dead, theyfled.

And the men of Israel, and of Iudaharose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, vntillthoucome to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron: and the wounded of the Philistinesfelldowne by the way to Shaaraim, euenvntoGath, and vntoEkron.
